"In this case, it's up to Wen Ruo to let Song Zhongzi and others leave Xudu as soon as possible. We don't have enough energy to deal with Jingzhou now. It won't be too late to deal with Jingzhou after Yuan Shao is defeated. As for going to Jingzhou to read the edict, we'll leave it to him.
Let's go to the Prince Consort Du Xi." Cao Cao thought about it and realized that this was the best way to handle the matter.
At present, there is only Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is not sure how to deal with it. If Guo Jia and others had not tried their best to dissuade him from attacking Yuan Shao, I am afraid that he would have just ordered his soldiers to stand by and have no idea of fighting Yuan Shao to the death. But even with this
idea, but it does not mean that he can deal with Yuan Shao and Jingzhou Liu Qi at the same time. What he needs now is to be able to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao. As for Jingzhou, he is really not sure.
He had already sent two brothers, Cao Ren, to guard Shangyong and other places. Now that he was using Yizhou to attract Jingzhou's troops, Jingzhou was no longer a threat to him. Naturally, he was unwilling to take the initiative to make enemies with Jingzhou at this time.
.
As for the Prince Consort Du Xi, Cao Cao had quite a lot of trust. Last time, this person went to Jiangdong to persuade Jiangdong Sun Ce to send troops to attack Jingzhou, which almost caused Jingzhou to be destroyed. Moreover, he knew the details of Du Xi very well, so he could trust this person.
"No." Xun Wenruo bowed and then turned and walked away.
Not long after, someone from the Sikong Mansion went to the palace with an edict to confer Liu Qi's title, and asked Emperor Liu Xie to approve it.
………………………………………………………………
In the post house, Ma Di and others had been invited back by Song Zhongzi. Song Zhongzi was fully aware of the actions of Ma Di and others. The reason why he did not stop them was because what Ma Di and others did did not touch Cao Cao.
The bottom line, and once Ma Di's actions violated Cao Cao's bottom line, then their group would not leave Xu Du so easily, and Liu Qi, who was in Jingzhou at that time, would not be able to fight with Cao Cao for the three of them at this time.
Start a war.
Returning to the post house, Ma Su and Xin Chang looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. The two of them did not expect to be able to visit all the people on the brocade cloth. They only did this to Cao Cao.
A little trouble is just a little trouble.
Now Cao Cao just didn't concentrate on dealing with them. There are many capable people and strangers under Cao Cao's command, all of them are extraordinary in their methods and wisdom. The two of them asked themselves that they were not their opponents. If they really made Cao Cao anxious and determined to deal with them, they only need to
Just tell a few confidants and you can keep them in check.
Not long after they returned, they saw Xun Wenruo rushing to the post house. Song Zhongzi immediately took Ma Su and went out to greet him.
Xun Wenruo first looked at Ma Su, then looked at Song Zhongzi and said: "The emperor has agreed to the memorial of Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, which means that the emperor has agreed to Liu Qi's appointment as the pastor of Jingzhou. As for the matter of the fiefdom of Liu Qi, the pastor of Jingzhou, the emperor has also made some plans.
Make a decision, and soon an angel will be sent to Jingzhou to read the emperor's edict."
Hearing Xun Wenruo's words, the three of them were all happy. These two things were the most important goals of their trip. Now that they could accomplish it so easily, they felt a little happy.
"I wonder, where does the emperor want to seal the eldest son's fiefdom?" After all, Song Zhongzi was very incomparable. He calmed down and asked. The most important thing about Liu Qi's enfeoffment is the location of the fiefdom.
This was the ultimate goal of Liu Qi's title of Marquis. If he was granted the title of Marquis in a place other than Hanzhong, it would inevitably add some twists and turns.
Xun Wenruo glanced at Song Zhongzi and said, "Don't worry, Liu Qi's fiefdom is in Hanzhong."
"Haha, there will be more emperors in this way. Now that the matter in Xudu has been settled, I will return to Jingzhou in the near future. I would like to ask Mr. Wen Ruo to take care of me." It was not until he heard the news that Song Zhongzi was surprised.
Laughed.
The purpose of Cao Cao asking Xun Wenruo to inform them of this matter was to let them leave Xu Du as early as possible and not get involved in Xu Du's affairs. Song Zhongzi also saw that the situation in Xu Du was worse than he imagined.
It's complicated. Staying in Xudu at this time is either a blessing or a curse. Leaving Xudu early will also give you peace of mind.
"In this way, the three envoys are on their way." Xun Wenruogong cupped his hands and looked at Ma Di again, turned around and left.
Observing Xun Wenruo's actions, Song Zhongzi glanced at Ma Su in surprise. What on earth did Ma Su do in Xun Wenruo's house to make Xun Wenruo care so much.
Ma Su smiled at Song Zhongzi's probing look. It was just an unintentional move at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it has no effect at all.
At that time, he discussed with Xun Wenruo whether he would return power to the emperor after Cao Cao came to power in the future. Although Xun Wenruo's answer at the time did not mean to betray Cao Cao, the meaning of Xun Wenruo's words was that he did not really surrender to Cao Cao.
Although there were very few people present at the time, no one could guarantee whether Xun Wenruo's words would reach Cao Cao's ears. Even if Cao Cao trusted Xun Wenruo again, how could he trust Xun Wenruo again when he heard Xun Wenruo's words.
This incident was an unintentional act by Ma Su, but unexpectedly, Xun Wenruo thought it was Ma Su's deliberate act. How could Xun Wenruo not be surprised?
"Pack up and prepare to return to Jingzhou." Song Zhongzi didn't take it seriously. He didn't need to know what Ma Di and others were doing. Jia Xu had already explained this when he was in Jingzhou. And he, Song Zhongzi,
He is not a power-hungry person, and he is not dissatisfied because of this.

To the west of Xudu, in a huge mansion, two people dressed in rich clothes were standing quietly in the pavilion and saying this. One of them was in his twenties, with handsome features, a wind and jade-like eyes, and
His eyes were as smart as water, while the other person looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he still looked like a child, he was extremely calm.
"Second brother, Cao Sikong asked me to teach that Ma Di a lesson, what should I do?" This person is exactly what Cao Cao said was Sima Min. There are eight Sima Min brothers, and all of them are outstanding, except Sima who has already served as an official.
Apart from Lang, although the others were extremely talented, they were vaguely headed by Sima Yi.
Last night, Cao Cao sent someone to the palace to hint Sima Min and asked him to teach Ma Di, the deputy envoy of Jingzhou, but Sima Min was hesitant and came to ask his second brother Sima Yi.
"You don't have to do anything. I think the Jingzhou envoy will leave Xudu today." Sima Yi's eyes were as calm as water, without any fluctuation, and he shook his head.
"Oh, so fast, didn't they have to wait for Cao Sikong to decide Liu Qi's title before leaving? How could they be in such a hurry?" The surprise in Sima Min's eyes flashed away, and he knew that Sima Yi must have said this.
His theory, from childhood to adulthood, almost everything Sima Yi said came true.
"Cao Sikong will not embarrass Jingzhou at this time. I think Liu Qi's imperial edict is already in the hands of the emperor." Sima Yi did not look back, but there was a sigh in his tone.
At this time, there were only two brothers in the entire pavilion. Even the guards guarding the four sides were more than a hundred steps away from the pavilion. Their voices were not loud and others could not hear what they were saying.
Although Sima Yi is conceited and smart, he does not dare to show off too much, otherwise his situation will be even worse. Now the entire Sima family has been suspected by Cao Cao. If he causes Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, then the Sima family's situation will be even worse.
It will be even more dangerous. Cao Cao is not easy to deal with, and several of Cao Cao's men are no match for him. At this time, he can only lie dormant and wait for opportunities.
"I heard that Liu Qi from Jingzhou, who was only in his twenties, was able to control Jingzhou and repel a hundred thousand troops from Jiangdong, and was able to break the crisis in Jingzhou. I really want to see it. And Zhuge Liang was just a young man.
At the age of twenty, he will be able to command the two elites in Jingzhou to fight in the north and south, and severely damage the Jiangdong army. I really don’t know if the two of them can compete with the second brother." Sima Min said with a sigh on his face. Things in Jingzhou have been changing these days.
It spread to everyone in the world, and the names of Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang are also famous all over the world, and everyone knows them.
"Haha..." After hearing Sima Min's words, Sima Yi chuckled a few times, his voice revealing strong confidence and contempt.
He saw that Jingzhou was not without its flaws, and that Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou were not that powerful. If there was a chance, he would really like to fight with these two people.

In Xiangyang City, a few beggars in rags looked around the streets, gathering together in twos and threes, as if waiting for alms from people passing by.
When they heard an inaudible scream, the beggars were shocked. Then they stood up and left the street in twos and threes, coming to a hidden alley. The light in this alley was extremely dark, and due to the ground
Due to its remoteness, there were very few people passing by the entrance of the alley, and if they were not paying attention, no one would notice that there were nearly a hundred beggars in the alley at this time.
These beggars gathered together, and the leader was the young general who wanted to take revenge. These soldiers were sent by Cai Xun to help the young general take revenge on Liu Qi. After a day, these soldiers finally disguised themselves as beggars and sneaked in
In the city.
"What's going on? Everyone is here?" The young general's eyes flashed with flames of hatred, sweeping over everyone from time to time, and his voice was filled with deep hatred.
"Chief, we are all here." A beggar said cautiously. He knew the temper of this young general. He would beat and scold him if he did anything wrong. None of these soldiers dared to have the slightest intention of disobedience at this time.
.
"Well, have you ever found out any information?" The young general looked overjoyed and asked everyone.
"Chief, we found out that Mrs. Nawan will go outside the city tomorrow to offer incense to his late parents." A beggar stood up immediately and said.
"Oh, is this serious?" The young general suddenly turned his head and looked at the soldier and asked coldly.
"This is absolutely true. I have already inquired about it. In the past two years, before Mrs. Wan entered Liu Qi's residence, she would go outside the city to offer incense every year." The beggar said reluctantly.
"Okay, then let's do it tomorrow, and then you can take revenge. I heard that Mrs. Wan is as beautiful as a fairy, so I will reward you then." The young general looked at the beggar and said.
[Let me tell you, the book may be on the shelves within this month. It may not be certain yet, but it may be a big idea. I will take the time to revise all the previous chapters on Sunday, and I will still update it in the past two days. I will have a small chapter next week
